The Harris Research Network™ (HRN) Terms of Use, as may be modified from time to time (the “TOU”), constitute legally binding terms and apply to your use of the HRN. By accessing and/or using the HRN, you represent that you are eligible to access and/or use the HRN and agree to be bound by the TOU, whether you are a “Visitor” (which means that you use the HRN without being registered) or you are a “Member” (which means that you have registered on the HRN). The term “User” refers to a Visitor or a Member.

Harris Interactive Inc. (together with its affiliates and subsidiaries, “Harris”) reserves the right to modify the TOU at any time and from time to time, and each such modification shall be effective upon posting on the HRN. Your continued use of the HRN following any such modification constitutes your agreement to be bound by and your acceptance of the TOU as so modified. Therefore, it is important that you review the TOU regularly. If you do not agree to be bound by the TOU and to abide by all applicable laws, then you must discontinue your use of the HRN immediately.

1. Eligibility

The HRN is open to individuals who are 18 years of age and older or to minors who are 13 years of age and older in the U.S. and Canada and 14 years of age or older in all other countries. If you do not qualify, please do not use the HRN. Harris may refuse to permit you to become a Member or use the HRN at any time, in its sole discretion. The registration site, and some surveys, projects, questionnaires and other activities may require you to accept a cookie from us as a means of ensuring data integrity. No personal data will be stored in the cookie. Without limiting any other remedies, Harris may suspend or terminate your use of the HRN if you fail to abide by the TOU.

2. Limitations of Membership, Non-Transferability

While some areas of the HRN site and the content therein are available to Visitors, other areas and content may be restricted to use by Members. You may register only once as a Member with the HRN. HRN membership is specific to the one individual with a unique e-mail address, and to the individual who registered and completed the demographic and other profile information sections. Multiple individual entries across multiple email accounts are prohibited and subject to immediate cancellation, and will render void all HIpoints or any other points, incentives, prizes and rewards (collectively, “Rewards”) due. HIpoints and Rewards are awarded to individual Members and are not transferable. HIpoints and Rewards are not considered to be property and therefore cannot be sold, transferred, or assigned to another Member or individual under any circumstances.

3. Honest and Accurate Disclosures; Zero Tolerance of Abuse or Fraud

To the extent applicable, you agree to provide true and accurate information during the registration process, while filling out demographic profile information and other general details, and while participating in any survey, project, questionnaire or other activity on the HRN. If any such information that you provide is untrue, inaccurate or not current, or if Harris or one of its agents has reasonable grounds to suspect such information is untrue, inaccurate or not current, Harris has the right to terminate your membership in the HRN and refuse any and all current or future access to, or use of the HRN, including the immediate forfeiture of your HIpoints and/or Rewards. Further, you shall not attempt to earn or redeem HIpoints or Rewards in any manner that conflicts with the intent of the TOU, or the terms and conditions of the HIpoints program, or otherwise attempt to fraudulently earn or redeem HIpoints or Rewards, or tamper with surveys or links.

Harris shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to pre-screen, refuse, reject, move, or delete any comment, opinion, site feedback or other information or material that is posted to, or submitted via, the HRN by Users (“User Content”), including, without limitation, commercial communications (such as spam), advertisements, affiliate links, and other forms of unauthorized data collection or solicitation. You agree not to (i) collect any User Content, or otherwise access the HRN, using automated means (such as harvesting bots, robots, spiders, or scrapers); (ii) frame portions of the HRN site within another website or alter the appearance of the HRN site; (iii) manipulate the results of any survey, project, questionnaire or other activity on the HRN or in the context of any activity engaged in as a consequence of being a User; (iv) upload viruses or other malicious code; (v) bully, intimidate, or harass anyone; or (vi) post any User Content that is hateful, threatening, misleading, malicious, discriminatory, or pornographic, that contains nudity or graphic or gratuitous violence, or that infringes or violates someone else’s rights or otherwise violates the law. Harris reserves the right to take appropriate legal action, including, without limitation, referral to law enforcement, in the event of any illegal or unauthorized use of the HRN.

4. Member Information
